Huge Cardinals fan since 1989. Been using Flash since 2002, starting off with basic stick figure movies, then progressing to sprites, and eventually trying out a hand-drawn movie as well. Now I mainly write games in my spare time. Still on Flash MX.

Games on Newgrounds are very underrated, and I can't imagine how long it would take to make a game like this. Puts my work to shame.
Graphics: It's good to see a Mario-based game with actual hand drawn sprites. Doesn't get much better than this in Flash games.
Interactivity: A lot more detailed than I expected, and I didn't experience any slow downs.
Sound: Good sound quality and some nice remixes of original Mario tunes.
Overall: Possibly the best side-scrolling Flash game I've ever played. This definitely deserves front page.

To tell the truth I've been fiddling with this game for over a year. But I've done most of the levels in the past few months. Thanks for the review.

I've made a game like this, so I know it's tough to make a side-scrolling game in Flash. My game wasn't perfect, either. It also had some of the same problems, and I noticed like five more bugs after I released it. However, I think there were some obvious problems with this game that you could've fixed before release. Here are a few things that would improve the game:
1. Make the game more upright. It's too hard to play a game like this when it's so wide.
2. Make Mario bigger and the jump less powerful. The way it currently is makes it tough to land on the smaller enemies when Mario has so much hangtime.
3. Bounce off enemies instead of just falling straight through them when you jump on their heads.
4. Add a health bar, a scoreboard, and maybe even a time limit.
Overall, it was a nice try, but there were too many fixable problems in the game that dragged the score down.

I don't even play Counter Strike and this was still one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. The voice fit perfectly for the character, with the high-pitched screaming and the nerdy voice. Big improvement over the first episode, keep it up.

Well, I can't give you a high score on sound since the only audio in the movie was a song repeatedly saying "I hate Republicans". What I found funny, and almost made me give you a point for humor, was how you associate Republicans with the KKK, even though Robert Byrd, a Democrat from West Virginia, was a local leader of the Ku Klux Klan. For that, I can't give you anything higher than a 1. If you're going to make a political movie, at least make it legit.

Canada is better than the U.S. at hockey, and I don't mind you making a movie about that. You have the right to be proud, but when you begin to stereotype all of us as hicks is where you crossed the line.
Need I remind you how many total medals Canada received in the 2004 olympics this past year compared to us?

The point of a soundboard is for making prank calls. You can't really make a prank call with this soundboard. All it has are sound effects from the game, and only a few speech sounds which also wouldn't work in a prank call.

Very weird to say the least. It was kind of funny but took a long time to develop at the beginning.

Another masterpiece from James Farr! Easily the best of the Xombie series. I can't wait until Chapter 4.

Cool effects, with the streaking characters and fading backgrounds. I liked it, very well done.

That was pretty funny. The ending could have been a little better than him just going through the door. Maybe he could have committed suicide or something, but it was still good.
